    It came with felt, but poorest quality. I have a roll of good stuff in shed , will buy another. Not sure what to stick it to T&G with though?

    Made a bit more progress. fitted 2" x 2" pieces along top of both walls to give strength and summat to screw joists to. Made another joist and nailed the tongue and groove roof pieces on. Just gotta finish off the roof ends, felt and fit door furniture .

    Hot bitumen is the stuff, but failing that I've used cold stuff and put laths down the joints screwed to the roof. I know it means puncturing the felt but I've not had any leaks providing you use plenty silicone.

    Why is there a gap between the house and the gate post?

    Nearly finished. took a day and a half to nail T&G to roof and same again to felt it. Ended up using supplied felt as needed 5.2 metres along ridge or 3.5 across. Just gotta fit door furniture and tidy up this week. Got mate's CBR600 in for engine change, ER5 for pre MOT work. Picking up NC30 and GSX1100ET this week.

    Thanks Colin. The door furniture is crap and doesn't fit , so may just fit hasps and locke for time being. Can't wait to put ramp in there and get NC30 ready for MOT.

    Better off fitting your own mate.

    I'd be tempted to cut out some steel plate and use it for anchoring the hinges and hasps thru both sides for some added security and longivety.

    Ooooh NC30. I do like those ;)
